For the past several years, Littleton Rotarian volunteers have made Valentine’s Day a big deal at the Libby Bortz Assisted Living Center in Downtown Littleton. The center puts on a Valentine’s Day Dance complete with a live orchestra playing all the old standards from the Big-Band era. Since most of the residents are women, there is a shortage of men to dance with. Rotary to the rescue!

The one hour dance was a total success and the residents were so grateful to have someone to dance and talk with. How special it was to see the joy in the faces and feel the love that was expressed by everyone there.

Club Member, Erica Shields is a member of the Board of Directors of The Honor Bell Foundation. She recently helped arrange a special presentation to the Rotary Club of Littleton of the history of Honor Bell by the Foundation's Executive Director, Michelle Mallin.

On the second Monday of each month, Littleton Rotary members volunteer at Project C.U.R.E. headquarters sorting donated new and surplus medical items. Those items are then boxed, palletised, and readied for shipment to clinics and hospitals in some of the world’s most critical areas. Teams of highly trained Project C.U.R.E. specialists travel to areas of need and do on-site evaluations. Once the evaluation of needs are completed, Project C.U.R.E. works to prepare the shipment and secures funding for transport.

Littleton Rotary spearheaded the fundraising effort that ultimately lead to the purchase of Project C.U.R.E’s. world headquarters located in Centennial, CO.
